🌆 New in Sibiu in OCTOBER

If you're looking for a place where you can start your day and end it too, make a note of D36 Bistro&More. As the name suggests, you'll find it at 36 Dumbrăvii, right where Puro used to be. It's a great option for a coffee or breakfast, a quick lunch, or a night out with friends.

Even though it doesn't have a physical location, Milanesa House is a great choice for meals at home. It's an online-only restaurant concept, part of the Glovo portfolio, that brings a pizza-inspired dish to your table: a chicken or beef schnitzel base topped with all sorts of toppings.

You can choose between Parmesana, Fried Egg, Yellow Cheese or the classic version with tomato sauce, fresh basil and mozzarella. Yummy!

If you happen to pass by 37 Vasile Milea Boulevard, you can't miss the display case full of artisanal treats, visible through the big windows of the new Go Sweet.

The sweets here are made fresh every day, and the variety is so huge you could try something new every day for a month: Pavlova roll, Medovik cake, choux, macarons, mini fruit tarts, cannoli, honey layer cake, croissants with pistachio cream and raspberries, éclairs, homemade chocolate and lots of cakes by the slice.

As they describe themselves, ANISE.sweetspot is a “cosy little feel-good spot where the treats range from sweet to savoury”. The new place is open at 19 Timotei Popovici Street and is the second kitchen where the Plai Restaurant team gets to play with flavours.

We'll definitely be paying them a visit, because lots of goodies have caught our eye: upside-down apple cake, a brownie with a ton of chocolate and almond flour, Pavlova with crème fraîche, chocolate pan brioche or sour cherry bombs. 😋

The second Shaka Bowl in Sibiu will soon open at 35D Oituz Street, on the ground floor of the building at the junction of Mihai Viteazul Boulevard and Calea Dumbrăvii.

Their healthy Hawaiian-inspired bowls have won many of us over – light yet filling, perfect for days when you fancy something different from the usual dishes.

After so many treats, the only way to keep things balanced is to get moving. The good news is that two Stay Fit Gym centres opened in Sibiu in October: one in Promenada mall and one at 8 Malului Street.

Whichever is closer to you, you'll find a centre kitted out with the newest & most modern training equipment, a fitness area and group aerobics classes. When are you starting? 😊

Finally, if you find yourself in Habermann Square, you'll be surprised by the new 400 m2 “La Riccionese Italy” flower shop, which has pretty much everything you could want: green and ornamental garden plants, fruit trees imported from Italy, potted houseplants, Mediterranean-style terracotta and ceramics for decorating, plus flowers and floral arrangements.

The photos capture the variety of products well, but if you're a plant lover, a visit is a must. 🙂
